READERS' FORUM 11-18 | Paranormal researcher buoyed by new movie

Anonymous The Tribune-Democrat Tue Nov 17, 2009, 01:35 PM EST

How significant. The box office has come up with a movie based on a psychokinetic man who has the ability to move or affect the structure of things using senses outside the range of our normal five sensory mechanisms.

The title of the movie is “The Men Who Stare at Goats.” It is a comedy based on true events and to me is proof that such individuals exist.

I am a paranormal researcher and for sometime now I have been trying to learn the identity of such a man in Vinco. The individual I am searching for also is mentally challenged.

Some knew what he is and did not dare to offer any information. Others, because of his nature, did not know what to define him as. Still others have seen him and do not know his name.

I am still in need of information.
